A couple of weeks ago, my awesome little bro, Indiana Jones (um…I mean, Jonas) did the most adorable thing which I just had to share with you all. When we make grocery shopping trips, we typically don’t all unload from the van and go in places together, so we kids take turns going into the store with Momma. Well, after a short debate in the car, we decided on this trip that it was Jonas’ turn to go into the store with Momma.

So, I sat in the car with the rest of the kiddos. We carried on casual conversation and listened to a bit of music to pass the time. After about half an hour, I looked in the rearview mirror and saw my little brother hand in hand with my momma walking back to the van. I briefly took notice of the cute picture, and then waited for them to get in so that we could get going.

Jonas crawled into the seat behind me saying in his cute five year old voice “Abigail! Cecily! I got you something!” I looked back and what I saw brought a huge smile to my face. Clenched in his outstretched hands was a big bouquet of pink flowers. “Do you like them?” he asked us, with a sweet sparkle in his eyes. Cecily and I both expressed our adoration of his affectionate gesture, and it gave him the strongest sense of accomplishment that he had done something nice for his sisters.

I just had to tell you all this sweet story and share a picture that I got of him smelling the flowers which brought a smile to my face every time I looked at them.

That is so precious! What a blessing! I am an only child and I think the love between siblings is just beautiful. I just have to say that from what I've read on all of your blogs, your Momma is raising such wonderful children!

My three daughters always thought their little brother was the most precious person in the world. Now that everyone is older (he's 13 and they are 27, 25, and 20) he'd take on the world to protect them.

I'm glad you feel that you and your siblings shre such feelings for each other.

Awww! What a little sweety! :) I love little kids, they are the sweetest! Like when the boy I babysit came up to me in the nursery about a year ago (he was 4), gave me a hug and just said, "I love you, Weewa". (He calls me "Weewa" since he can't say Olivia :D)

how absolutely sweet!!!! Enjoy those siblings!! As you are figuring out, they are and other than a spouse some day will always be your bestest friends every!! your story blessed me especially today, thank you for sharing!!

Abigail, What a thoughtful sweet little brother you have. You made his day:) I think he was so grateful to get the opportunity to go shopping with Mommy and probably felt that his sisters had to stay in the car, so he did something special for you.
